Sincerely Wrong
Some people are resistant to Christianity. They don’t see the Bible, Jesus, or the church as good things. That doesn’t mean they’re angry, uninformed, or hostile to faith in general. It means they have serious problems with Christianity and how it’s been lived out in the world. Their doubts are sincere and often understandable.
Saul also had sincere and serious problems with Christianity. He believed in God, knew Scripture, respected religious authority, and took his faith seriously. He was also completely convinced that opposing Jesus was what God wanted him to do.
But what if the Jesus you rejected isn’t who he really is? What if the Jesus you follow has been shaped more by your assumptions than by who he actually is? Can we be completely sincere about God and still be completely wrong about Jesus?
Saul’s encounter with Jesus in Acts 9 raises an uncomfortable question for all of us: Have we seen Jesus as he is, or only as he has been represented to us? That question matters whether you’ve rejected Christianity or believed your entire life. Whether faith feels familiar, uncertain, or difficult to trust, there may still be more to Jesus than what you have seen.
